Raul’s Automotive   State-of-the-Art Equipment and Tooling

The tools pictured here give Raul’s the edge when it comes to accurate and complete diagnosis of sophisticated electronic problems.  While many aftermarket shops purchase scan tools that work on a variety of makes, these scan tools are often of limited functionality when it comes to diagnostics of systems other than engine controls.  Air Bags, Climate Control, Anti-Lock brakes, and even lighting systems are just a few of the areas where an aftermarket scan tool is just not sufficient to get the job done.  On the service of hybrid vehicles in particular, the factory scan tool is just about a requirement. Like many of the factory scan tools, the Ford IDSTM is laptop based.  VCM stands for Vehicle Communications Module.  This tool works on 1996 and newer Fords including the Escape Hybrid and all of the PowerStroke diesels including the late model 6.4 diesel.  It is also the factory tool for Ford Lincoln Mercury and Mazda as Mazda and Ford have a close relationship.  The tool is updated EVERY DAY via the internet per a $500 a year subscription we have with Ford Motor Company.

The Tech 2TM scan tool is the Factory scan tool for GM products including the Saturn Vue Hybrid models, plus the new Aura and Yukon Hybrids as well Hummer.  It is also functional on the Duramax diesel trucks.  We have had this tool since 2003 and have kept it updated regularly at a cost of $1,200 a year.  It works on all GM products back to 1992.

Programming:       Computer Reprogramming or Reflashing

 Computer reprogramming or "reflashing" as it is often called is a fairly new feature in auto repair but is becoming increasingly common as a way to fix your car.  Raul’s Automotive is equipped with the latest computer equipment to reprogram your vehicle's onboard computer or computers (many cars have more than five onboard computers.)

We do not make random changes to the computer program.  Rather, we purchase from the vehicle manufacture specific computer files that update the existing program to one that is designed to fix faults that have appeared after the vehicle has been sold.  Let's say, for example, your car will no longer run on regular fuel without pinging.  You have taken it to a repair shop and they have tried various solutions without improving the condition.  It is possible that the manufacturer has released updated software to correct the condition in the computer. Raul’s has the ability to put that software into your car's computer to solve many problems that cannot be repaired with mechanical or physical parts, usually at a very reasonable price.

Raul’s can check your vehicle's onboard computer system to see if updates for its software are available. We can also program new keys or key fobs to many makes and models as well as change tire sizes to correct for aftermarket tires which cause many drivability problems one of which is inaccurate speedometer.

It’s no wonder why many local repair shops come to us as a dealer alternative for reprogramming.
